Ok so i just noticed that the guild VOID has a swastika for its guild flag. Is this allowed?

WHAT?
Either this is another tokyo manji situation (aka pretentious use of the ancient swastika that intentionally ignores how language and symbols take new meaning over time), or ZERO has gone full edk.
should probably check what direction the symbol is going at. I still think it's horribly ignorant to include a swastika nowadays, even the original, but it's a big difference.

Thanks for the post. I checked out the flag, and while is does resemble that symbol, I feel it's different enough to be in a safe zone. If for some reason it turns out there is something hateful about it, or more people genuinely have a problem with it, I'll remove it. But looking at it, I think it's different enough to be ok.

Oh yeah no worries I actually asked ZERO about it and it turns out to be completely coincidental.

Yeah, it kind of looked like swastika logo, but it's not, and what I did is different. I mean look at the color pattern, It was supposed to be the old logo of VOID which is a lot more round with 3 limbs like, which looks like you are getting sucked into the VOID, you know what I mean? a spiral? Also by looking at its appearance, isn't it obvious that it's not yet finished? Yeah, I'm lazy and it's hard for me to make it look like round in pixel arts that's why I stopped doing it for a while, but I will try to make it. Sorry for the confusion it caused.

You could always copy the European dreamcast logo.

hahahaha yeah, that logo looks like it could suck everyone into the void, but yeah it sucks to be drawn in the guild flag of VOID, btw my reference for our guild flag is the Void icon from league of legends
